Species In Genus: 1 sp. Etymology: (Greek: name used by Dioscorides) Unabridged Note:Lapsana has been reduced to 1 sp., with several subspecies (Flora Europaea) not recognized here, due to the work of Pak & Bremer (1995 Taxon 44:13--21), who segregated 4 Asian species into Lapsanastrum. The highest-elevation collection on record is Lake Arrowhead, SnBr. This sp. is a weed, which can appear, at least temporarily, almost anywhere.eFlora Treatment Author: Kenton L.
